"It can be said that the preparations for this manned lunar landing program are very hasty, and I believe that my colleagues within must have reservations, but please think about the road of the two bombs and one satellite of the Republic, and at those critical time nodes in history, no one will give you sufficient time to prepare."

At the meeting, Luo Sheng looked around at the members of the participants and said, and everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard the boss take out two bombs and one star to distance them.

In any case, in contemporary times, at this moment in Star and Arrow International, the conditions, environment, and background are far superior to those of the older generation of scientists, and it is a difficult condition that an atomic bomb is calculated with an abacus, and it is still successful.

Luo Sheng added: "The moon landing plan is so decided, it is decided, it is decided, and it is decided, and you can put forward opinions, but the favor is valid, and the opposition is invalid." ”

Everyone at the meeting silently glanced at each other, Zheng Tao and the others shrugged helplessly in their hearts, at this critical moment, the big boss always makes a statement, and overrides public opinion, as long as it is what he decides, there is no possibility of change, and Star Arrow International's super heavy rocket can't be pulled back.

As the founder and absolute controller, Luo Sheng's authority in these companies has reached an extreme, as long as he is sure that it must be implemented, the people under his command will not oppose it.

You can object verbally, but you have to do something, and those who don't do it will be eliminated.

I am afraid that only if Qin Weimu comes forward to oppose one thing with all his might, it will be possible to influence Luo Sheng to make a new decision, and no one else can compare with Qin Weimu in terms of qualifications, ability, or relationships.

"Mr. Luo, is it true that our moon landing program is going to exploit helium-3 resources when we go to the moon?" One of the managers at the meeting asked, and the big boss emphasized it in this tone, so naturally no one objected to the moon landing and directly entered the discussion of the moon landing.

"It's not nonsense." Luo Sheng said helplessly: "Is it true that you can go to play the autumn breeze and come back after taking a photo with the moon?" ”

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "In order to maintain the position of the leader under the background of the Fourth Scientific and Technological Revolution and the Age of Discovery, we must take the lead in winning the helium-3 resources on the moon before all competitors, so we are not only going to the moon this time, but also mining." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng paused his speech, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before continuing: "Controlled nuclear fusion has been ridiculed for 50 years forever, but it cannot be forever. We don't have to wait for the controlled fusion technology to be mastered before making the next step, we can go to the moon to excavate helium-3 in advance. ”

Zheng Tao and others present also knew that Luo Sheng's strategic foresight did not say, and they also liked to be a strategic-level subordinate, and they had already explained a point from the time they founded Bluestar Technology, and before the IPO of Bluestar Technology, they made it clear to investors that they did not like to make quick money, but liked to make money after ten years.

With the rapid progress of science and technology, the great wave of the fourth scientific and technological revolution is unstoppable, and controllable nuclear fusion is a hurdle that human civilization must overcome, and it must be overcome, and it is only a matter of time sooner or later.

As long as the day of the breakthrough in fusion controllable technology, helium-3 resources can immediately exert their irreplaceable value, and it is completely possible to dig them back first and seal them as strategic reserve materials, even if they are sealed for ten or twenty years.

Helium-3 resources will only be stored for more and more valuable, because the longer the time, the closer the breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology will be.

At this time, a core executive at the meeting said: "We are going to the moon to occupy an area to mine helium-3 resources, then international legal issues must also be taken seriously, anyway, if we go to mining first, Europeans and Americans can only stare dryly and will definitely be anxious, if you can't guarantee it, you will be stumbled, the rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, I am not happy and I will not let you have a good time, I have to guard against it." ”

Zheng Tao, who attended the meeting, did not care about this, he said: "I think this issue can be paid attention to but do not need to pay too much attention, because according to the provisions of the 1967 Outer Space Convention, outer space is equivalent to the nature of the high seas on the earth, as long as it does not occupy an area, whoever catches fish on the high seas belongs to whom, and the helium-3 resources on the moon can also be treated in the same way." ”

Another participant nodded: "Mr. Zheng is reasonable, as long as we blatantly declare sovereign control over the occupied area, they can't find an excuse, this is the same as the polar research station, we call this the peaceful use of outer space resources, we mine on it, you can also come, what I dig is mine, what you dig is yours, there is nothing wrong with each ability, haha." ”

"It's a bit of a bully, but I like it."

The members present also seemed more and more relaxed, but Luo Sheng said: "We still can't take it too lightly, the competition in the field of space exploration, Star Arrow International is not absolutely unbeatable, the technology gap is not ahead of the gap of several generations, everyone is still using chemical fuel rockets, but Star Arrow International has scale advantages, supporting advantages, and capital advantages." ”

"Elon Musk's SpaceX in North America, as well as the bald Bezos's Blue Origin, are potential competitors of Star Arrow International, when we are ambitious to look up at the starry sky, it will inevitably put great pressure on competitors, so as to force the opponent to speed up, you may not be sure that one day they bet on all in a wave, it is also possible to accelerate to catch up."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, and the feeling of these words to Zheng Tao and others was that Luo Sheng was very decisive and aggressive at the level of strategic rejection, but he was conservative and steady at the level of tactical execution, and never despised the opponent.

After this meeting, Star Arrow International determined the manned lunar landing operation codenamed "Moon Palace Program" and was quickly put on the agenda.

If it's just going to the moon, taking a photo on the surface of the moon means that the Chinese people will come back after a trip here, things are really simple, the technology is in place, just go around the moon and come back, only half a month of preparation time can fly over.

The carrying capacity of the super-heavy recyclable rocket under Star Arrow International is more arrogant than that of the "Saturn 5" in the beautiful country, and it only needs to be launched once, which is absolutely enough.

But obviously it is impossible to just go to the autumn breeze and take a photo and come back, this is only one of the tasks, the more important task is to go to the moon to mine helium-3 resources, which for the lunar landing team, it is necessary to establish a lunar base on the moon.

The question is actually ...... It's not difficult, it can even be said to be simple.

Because there is already a "Forerunner 2" space station in the Earth's orbit, although it is not yet fully completed, it is still a prototype, but it can provide great help for the lunar landing operation plan.

Instead of transporting the materials to orbit for transit, it is not only time-consuming, but also costly to build a lunar base on the moon.

The difference in time and cost between sending it from the surface of the earth to the moon little by little, and from the orbit of a planet to the moon in one go, is almost a world away.

……

Two days later, Star Arrow International held an impromptu press conference, and Zheng Tao appeared in person.

At the scene, Zheng Tao knocked on the microphone and announced in a high-profile manner: "Today, our Star Arrow International will officially announce that it will officially launch the first private commercial manned lunar landing mission in human history in the second half of this year, and it is also after 1972, after half a century, mankind will return to the moon again." ”

"In this lunar mission, Star Arrow International will establish the first human lunar base on the moon, and you will wait and see what the result will be."

In the end, the reporters who came to the scene were stunned for a few seconds, but it only lasted for two seconds, and after reacting, it caused an uproar in the audience.

Star Arrow International's announcement of this news made them unprepared, no one expected that reporters from all walks of life who came to the scene once thought that today's press conference must be related to the "ladder project".

In the current chaotic environment of the world, the pace of Star Arrow International's march into space has not slowed down, but is advancing in a big way, which no one expected.
